AUS vs SA World Cup 2023: Cameron Green OUT, Stoinis IN, Australia Playing 11 vs South Africa playing 11 | Australia vs South Africa

AUS vs SA World Cup 2023: Pat Cummins-led Australia is set to take on Temba Bavuma's South Africa at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on October 12. The ICC World Cup 2023 match number 10 will start at 2:00 PM IST, today. This article will lead you through AUS vs SA World Cup 2023: Cameron Green OUT, Stoinis IN, Australia Playing 11 vs South Africa playing 11 | Australia vs South Africa.

Australia and South Africa had a very contrasting start to their ICC World Cup 2023 campaign, a few days ago. While the former team dipped too low on the standards to face a defeat, the latter rose very high above anyone's standards to post a record-breaking total in the World Cup 2023 and win the game.

Pat Cummins and co were reduced to mere 199 runs by Team India in Chennai, on October 8 and the Men in Blue convincingly won the game with multiple overs to spare. On the other hand, South Africa posted a massive 428 runs against Sri Lanka in Delhi and then eventually won the contest by 102 runs.

On the other side, if we look at the recent fixtures between Australia and South Africa, signs are not looking encouraging for the mighty Aussies. South Africa defeated Australia in the 5 match ODI series held last month after winning three consecutive games at the back end of the series.

Furthermore, the surface at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow has always been conducive to the spinners. The matches during IPL 2023 and even the international games held at the venue have turned out to be fruitful for the spinners.

However, Australia hasn't carried enough frontline spinners in its 15-member squad. Barring Adam Zampa, the team has no specialist spinner in the lineup. They have highly boasted of Glenn Maxwell and Marnus Labuschagne as spinners, but it remains to be seen if that plan works out for them.

AUS vs SA World Cup 2023: Australia Playing 11

The only change one could expect Australia to make in its playing 11 for the game against South Africa will be the inclusion of Marcus Stoinis in place of Cameron Green. Stoinis was down with a hamstring issue, however, that seems to have been fixed. Stoinis comes ahead of Green in the pecking order and hence, a change for the Aussies.

Australia Playing 11: David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Alex Carey, Marcus Stoinis, Pat Cummins (capt), Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood

AUS vs SA World Cup 2023: South Africa Playing 11

It's quite tricky to tickle the balance of the team that has just scored over 400 runs in an ODI game and won it by 102 runs. South Africa would have required no addition to their squad, had the game been held at a decently conducive batting surface. However, with the surface tending to aid spinners, Tabraiz Shamsi may get a nod ahead of Gerald Coetzee.
